at the Cheatam St Warehouse in San Marcos in '80 or '81. George Strait played at the same place on the other ladies night.

Jimi in Portland, Oregon late '68 I think
Stevie in Tucson, August '89.
I loved Jimi long before I had heard of SRV, but don't ask me to choose....

Mr. Vaughan was great but he tended to be great interpreting other people's work.

Like SRV's a little better. The band is more solid, so the song rocks a little harder. The guitar playing is quite different between the two but they're both really well played. So, i guess i like SRV's better because of the backing music, not because of the guitar playing.

Also, i liked Stevie's voice a little more. Not much, but a bit.

Jimi inspired me to pick up the guitar in the first place.

Stevie pushed my talent to the next level.

who used to play this tune with bands (usually our own hybrid of the two). For pure Listening pleasure I'd have to go with Hendrix's; its dirtier, rawer and sexier than SRV's. (IMO). But I love em both.
